Bulgaria supports Turkey's eventual becoming a full member of the EU, said Bulgarian Foreign Affairs Minister Nikolay Mladenov in one of the rare high-ranking Bulgarian statements on the matter.
"Bulgaria approves of Turkey's accession to the European Unon," said Mladenov in an interview for Darik Radio Saturday.
However, the Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs acknowledged that the negotiation process is complicated
"There are huge parts of Turkish legislation that still have to be harmonized with EU standards," said Mladenov.
He also added that Bulgaria is aware that other EU member states are not so favorable towards Turkey's future accession.
"Attitudes and position in some member states could give ground for a halt in enlargement," commented Mladenov.
